Crushed

Everything that I've gone and ever done
Has been for a moments love
So short of breath, I feel that I can't feel you here
And everything resets and I should disappear
Because you walk by and everything just starts to fade
My friends asking me if I'm pain
'Cause my face is twisted up until your gone
And the thing is that it's really wrong

Because

I'm crushed on the sweetest eyes
That are not mine
So mystified
By the boy who just passes by
I'm crushed
By the softest smile I'll never know
And the boldest heart
I've yet to hold


So everything
That I've gone and ever done
Has been for now
And the moments that I'll carry on
So short of breath
Everything begins to shake
Now I'll take
The longest step I've ever made
Just to be right there by your very side
And look at you, the face that I have memorized
Talk to you, like I've known you for so very long
And hope to God, I don't break apart when we're done

Because

I'm crushed on the sweetest eyes
That are not mine
So mystified
By the boy who just passes by
I'm crushed
By the softest smile I'll never know
And the boldest heart
I've yet to hold

So crushed

Author notes

I have to give credit to Rosette's song "Crushed" which A)provided a rythm as I was writing and influenced the repeated stanza.

    I've never heard the song that you mention in your author notes - but this poem is wonderful I really like the honest descriptions - and the chorus is rhythmic and makes for a great read
